Friendship Chair

This is my 2014 donation to the CHAIRish the Children auction. I always like to add words to my paintings and looked for a quote that had a good visual hook in it. I remembered seeing a mural of lemons on the wall of a cooking school in Italy that inspired me and added other stylized fruit to the mix. My friend Debbie, who was interested in learning to paint, joined me for some of my painting sessions on this chair. She has since moved on to portraits in oils!
